I work in an office and I usually sit down doing paper work. I work as a bookkeeper, my work is both standing and sitting depends on your department. I am the only one here in bookkeeping; other locations of the same company have chairs for their bookkeepers. I had a chair for 5 years, but my manager took it away saying it is not a sitting job. What can I do to get the chair back in the office?

Did your boss offer any sort of explanation after this? Was it just you this happened to?

So are you now expected to work standing up all day? What is your actual job title?

From just this it seems the manager is a prat. We do need some more context though... Do you need the chair? Are they restricting you in any way?

Hi, and welcome to workplace.SE! Unfortunately, your question is unclear and will likely be put on hold. Please add some more information (as requested in comments). In particular: What exactly are your duties ("bookkeeping" is quite broad)? When do you usually sit down, and when do you work standing? Why did your manager take away the chair? Was there any stated reason beyond "not a sit-in job"?

Also, where are you? Laws differ in different places. In the US, I'd think the ADA would require the employer to give you a chair after getting the doctor's letter, but it may be different elsewhere.
